Artist's Description

Hiking in Starved Rock State Park with your eyes up and always looking ahead can be a mistake. Some of the simplest photographs are found just looking down. This simple image was taken by simply leaning over a railing on one of the wooden walkways in the park. This cluster of Oak tree leaves was just waiting to "smile" back at me! It was shot as an HDR photo in camera, finished in Lightroom, and tweaked in Photoshop using a watercolor filter.

About Greg Thiemeyer

I'm a retired special education teacher currently living in Southwest Michigan, although the majority of my life was spent in the Chicagoland area. I have enjoyed photography since I was a teenager, and got my first SLR camera at age 20. Now, I spend most of my time taking photos of the plant and animal life that surrounds me. Trips always offer new and additional opportunities, including landscape and cityscape photography. Posting much of my work on Facebook, I've received encouraging comments from family and friends, so I felt this was the next logical step. I've always felt that creative photography is a gift...and have laughed at acquaintences who feel that having a quality camera is THE REASON a person can be photographically...
